Kreg Lindberg teaches and conducts research in tourism and outdoor recreation, with a particular focus on eco and adventure tourism.

His work focuses on providing accurate and unbiased data to facilitate decision making in the context of tourism and recreation management.

Current and recent projects include:

• Visitor and public preferences for development of visitor services in Norwegian national parks, for the Institute of Transport Economics and the Norwegian Research Council.
• Oregon OHV economic impact analysis, for Oregon State Parks.
• Wallowa-Whitman National Forest "quiet recreation" economic impact analysis, for The Wilderness Society.

He has a Ph.D. in forest social science with a minor in economics from OSU (1995), as well as a Masters in international relations from the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies. Prior to coming to OSU-Cascades, Kreg worked at Colorado State University and at universities and research centers in Australia and Norway.

When he's not in class or on the computer, Kreg's out hiking with his dog Lani, biking, cross-country skiing, or exploring backroads in the forest with his FJ Cruiser (manzanita makes for good desert pinstriping...).
